The son of Yankees legend and Marlins manager Don Mattingly was arrested for drunk driving after he crashed his car and immediately drove to an Indiana car dealership to sell it.
Evansville police arrested 30-year-old Jordon William Mattingly- the son of Yankees legend and Marlins manager Don Mattingly- on Monday night for driving while 3.5 over the legal alcohol limit.
Prior to his arrest police said they got up to five calls about a silver Honda driving erratically, according to an arrest affidavit.

Witnesses told police that despite wrecking the vehicle, Mattingly continued driving until he pulled into the D-Patrick Honda dealership, where he appeared ‘super drunk.’

Dealership employees told police that Mattingly had actually tried to sell his wrecked car to the car dealership.
When officers arrived they observed that the 30-year-old had scratches all over his face, smelled of alcohol and almost fell over multiple times, courierandpress.com reported.
Police charged Mattingly with two counts of driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated, one count of public drunkenness and refusal to submit to a chemical test

Mattingly told police he only had one drink and that the damage to his car was caused by a pothole days earlier.
After failing a breathalyzer test he admitted to having ‘a lot’ to drink, but claimed he didn’t hit anything on his way to sell his car, police said.
The 30-year-old was then transported to a local hospital to treat his injuries but refused a blood-alcohol test.
When officers searched his SUV they later found cans of Four Loko and White Claws in his car.
Police charged Mattingly with two counts of driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated, one count of public drunkenness and refusal to submit to a chemical test.
